Connected by a single bridge across the strait the back, or eastern side of the island offers ample shoreline for salmon fishing from shore, and protection from ocean waves and Arctic winds through the summer.

Most often this area is fished from boats, both large and small. There are ample salmon runs along both sides of the strait with coho, pink, chum and king all making seasonal runs. Halibut fishing is one of the more popular species to fish.

The strait is heavily fished during the summer runs and during seasonal salmon runs.
